While it was initially believed that the driver of a pickup truck was the suspect who fatally struck a woman at Mission and South Van Ness in SF Monday, police later arrested the driver of a Mercedes who allegedly fled the scene with others in the car, including a child in a car seat.

As SFist reported previously, a woman was fatally struck around 3:30 pm Monday near South Van Ness Avenue and Mission Street and pronounced dead at the scene. Police initially stopped the driver of a F-250 or F-350 pickup truck who cooperated with police.

According to KGO’s JR Stone, police later began pursuing the driver of a black Mercedes whom they pulled over a mile-and-a-half from the scene. Other people were reportedly in the car, including a baby in the backseat, along with some Chanel bags.

Based on a Citizen report, police detained the driver at 600 Potrero Avenue.

Update: As the Chronicle reports, the suspect driver of the Mercedes has been arrested and identified as 30-year-old Valentino Cash Amil of San Francisco. He has been booked on charges of homicide and felony vehicle hit and run with injury.

Surveillance video from a nearby business, which was shown off-camera to KGO, first shows the victim on the hood of a moving car that matches the description of the Mercedes. The woman can then reportedly be seen falling into the street as the car allegedly runs her over.

Police haven’t released any details on the investigation. Bystander Richard Conway Jr. pointed out to KGO that the area where the woman was killed does not feature crosswalks, and is very dangerous.
